A virtual link in an avionics full duplex switched Ethernet network is

  • A.A physical cable between two units
  • B.A backup channel used on failure
  • C.A diagnostic connection for maintenance
  • D.A logical path to defined receivers

Answer: D

Correct answer: A logical path to defined receivers

A virtual link is a configured unidirectional route from one transmitting end system to a defined set of receivers, with a guaranteed maximum bandwidth. It exists in the switches' configuration tables rather than in any cable.

The concept is what makes a switched network deterministic: because every link's traffic is bounded in advance and the switches police it, the worst-case delay across the network can be computed and demonstrated. Several virtual links share the same physical wiring, which is precisely the point.
